Unprofessional, disorganized, poor communication, treats their customers, vendors, and employees with contempt:
I attended as a vendor the Jamesville Balloon Fest put on this year by Paradise. Paradise staff was disorganized at every turn, staff were poorly trained, uninformed, confusing, and disrespectful. The staff bad-mouthed the "leader" and the "leader" behaved like a 2-year old child having a temper tantrum. He disparaged his staff in front of me and others, Tried to keep me and 4 other vendors -including one pregnant woman- from leaving the county park- which required a call to 911 and police escort. The balloon fest was a total fiasco, with staff not knowing absolutely anything. One staff member in the beer tent told me that they were directed not to cut off anyone no matter how intoxicated they were, and no matter how abusive they were to staff. I will stay away from anything put on by this organization.
